In classic mode (The free version), you just build shit.

In survival (The paid version), you survive. You have to build shelter, get resources from the environment, and fight off mobs (Another name for the monsters in the game). It's never ending, which is the fun part.

I was planning on buying this with BC2 Vietnam for Christmas but I don't want to pay more.

i see, might buy it for the survival then! sounds like fun, and i never heard of the survival mode. i only seem people building stuff...

Just bought it a few days ago.

I wonder how expansions are going to be?

Glad I bought Alpha, its soo addictive, I would recommend buying it now for anyone who is still deciding.

No... That was just a huge update.

I don't think we HAVE seen any expansions yet.

Really?!

I just pirated legally obtained the Alpha...

Bad boy.

Same, as my parents won't let me have PayPal, as they know that I'd spend too much >.>

I pirated Minecraft before I bought it. I ended up buying it because I felt Notch deserved the money.
You could buy a pre-paid credit card. That would work.

Or you could just link Pay Pal to your bank account and do it that way, you don't need a credit card, it just takes 7 business days to clear.

As of now, the whole game is "Survival mode". You can lower the difficulty and it'll disable all the enemies, but you still need to collect resources to build crap.

its a great game and nothing beats it but the different versions and big prices (relatively) kinda makes me feel its too expensive
beta is not always better

There aren't different paid versions. It's just moving into beta stages, meaning the game is rapidly nearing completion.

 

[Scott-105]

I am going to buy it right now. I've been thinking about getting it for a while, so if the price is going up, may as well get it now.

Beta means Alpha + more content. How can that not beat Alpha?

And it's one of the best game out there, but still much cheaper than other games.

 

[Joe88]

I think because the higher price + beta buyers dont get expansion packs for free unlike alpha buyers

 

[Joe88]

just bought my alpha premium account a day before its supposed to go beta lol
